weekend. time to "spring forward" as america forges ahead with the very long tradition of . yes, this is the weekend. time to spring forward, as america forges ahead with the very long tradition of daylight saving time. you know the story. it was supposed to help save energy and help farmers. but every time we change our clocks, we ask ourselves, why are we still using a war time
7:10 am
energy plan? well, meet severyn bornstein, the director of california energy institute, a world class expert on things like gas prices and airline efficiency. so he knows something about energy obviously. now meet bora zyncavik, an expert in behavioral biology and how we all tick with the sun. this week, wroa an op ed in scientific america calling for an end to the time change. does daylight saving still make sense for us in 2013? if not, will we ever let it go and leave our poor clocks and bodies alone? we decided to let the two experts have their say. >> it is all about human behavior and human coordination of behavior. >> it is. it is human behavior, because time itself is a social construct. we decided at one point to divide the day by 24 hours. but, you know, dawn changes all the time. the time of dusk changes all
7:11 am
the time. >> daylight saving time really doesn't save energy. it shifts when you use the energy. you tend to use more energy in the morning and less in the evening. >> there are many people that argue we're not just doing this to save energy. the effect is that our normal time schedules more closely coincide with when it's light. people go shopping in the evening and engage in other social activities. >> why not have the summertime all the time and then nothing stopping individual companies from shifting their work hours. they are working 9:00 to 5:00 for half a year, you can work from 8:00 to 4:00 the other half of year, and that's how in some countries they do. >> but we could shift to any time you want and stay there and eventually people would adapt to it. the supposed advantage of daylight saving time, it's like a one-time shift in a coordinated fashion. >> the switch is what kills people, especially the spring
7:12 am
one. biological clocks, circadian rhythms, it takes a long time for us to resynchronize. there are more traffic accidents, more accidents at work. there are more heart attacks. >> i suspect that any big change would be costly at this point. the advantages would actually be pretty small, but it would not surprise me if we're still doing daylight saving time 50 years from now. >> 50 years from now, i think we'll get rid of them, but a number of countries have already got rid of them, like russia did. if several more countries, especially key industrial countries, get rid of it, then the whole world will follow. >> you know, lot of people like having a little extra daylight, but i have to say, the one group of people who doesn't, morning anchors. we don't live on the normal circadian rhythms! >> you'll be feeling it tomorrow morning, for sure.
7:13 am
plenty of sunshine once we do get under way. it's mostly clear, . temperatures toward the golden gate bridge in all of its glory, hardly any traffic out there this morning. but it's a great day to head to marin, if you like, with a nice hike in store. 39 degrees in concord. 44 at oakland. 42 at livermore. at the airport in san francisco, it's 45. in san jose, 46 degrees. in san jose, 37. and, yes, sunset tonight at 6:12 p.m. but by tomorrow night, the sun will be setting at 7:13 p.m., as we do daylight saving time goes into full force. dry week ahead as high pressure builds in after the little bit of rain we got the preceding week. things warming up as well into the mid-70s by the end of the week, as the low pressure that was over our part of the state kicks out to the east and leaves us with high pressure. so a very spring-like week ahead for the bay area. high pressure sends all of the moisture out in the pacific up
7:14 am
where it belongs. the pacific northwest, up in fungus corners. for us, high pressure means it will be warm this week. some numbers may even nudge 80 degrees by wednesday and thursday. the future cast showing us that we've got plenty of sunshine in the offing for the bay area, with clear skies for most of the day. doesn't look like there's going to be too much in the way of cloudiness, except a little bit touching the peninsula later in the day. for sfo, sunny skies on monday. if you're heading out of the bay area. and for denver and chicago and new york, cloudy skies. but the southland looks nice and sunny. for us, we'll look for numbers to be mostly in the 60s and san francisco at 63. 65 for san jose. 65 at livermore. look ahead looks sunny. sunny side up the entire week, with readings in the 70s for the bay area. we'll be in the mid-70s by wednesday and thursday. a little bit of a cooldown next weekend, but not a drop of rain in sight, at least not for us. that's weather. let's get the latest with anne.
7:15 am
>> thanks, brian. imagine visiting a business without ever stepping in the store. new technology by google is allowing customers to do window shopping without leaving home. they are called virtual tours. photographers capture every inch of a store, piecing all the pictures together to create a 360-degree experience. looks like a little inch can get you love from netflix. this customer tweeted a picture of his newly-done tattoo with his choice. netflix awarded him a year of streaming video, but other customers remain skeptical as to whether or not the tattoo is real. for better or worse, technology can transform the way children learn, especially for kids with special needs. for more on that, jim steyer with common sense media joins us this morning. great to see you this morning. >> great to be here. we're hearing all of those technology stories and the story is, technology used wisely can transform learning. one of the most exciting parts
7:16 am
about digital media, a lot have been created in the bay area, kids with special needs, special learning needs, special social and emotional challenges, can actually benefit from some of the new apps that have been developed, specifically for kids, say problems with fine motor skills or dealing with staying on task, keeping focused. >> but it makes sense, i think, to use technology for children with those challenges, because they are so unique, you don't have a full classroom with people with the same challenges. >> and their brains work differently in some cases. so digital media, it's actually incredibly valuable. at common sense, we actually created a guide now called power up. the focus of which is to help families who have kids with special needs find special learning tools on your ipad or other kind of tablet device or your phone. and the results early on have been extraordinary. this is a huge issue for families all across the bay area. >> certainly. challenging for them to find the right ones. tell us about some of the apps that are available. >> we've seen a variety of
7:17 am
them. for example, there's one we've highlighted called touch and learn, which is about emotions. some kids, as all parents like myself know, have trouble regulating their emotions. so we've seen examples in that one. we've seen kids who have -- may sound funny, but identifying social cues. there's a really cool app called peak-a-zoo by duck, duck, moose. there's a lot of stuff around -- that's peek-a-zoo right there. >> this would be for children with autism or somebody on the spectrum perhaps? >> exactly. and remember, as you mentioned, there's a spectrum. kids are all over the place on this. but if you have a kid, i can assure you as a parent you know that you do, then this is really designed to help them adjust. another one is on fine motor skill development. that's a big challenge for some kids with special needs. there's a terrific new app out there that's called dexteria.
7:18 am
it actually helps kids with letter formation and skills like finger pinching. that may sound funny to us, but that's actually critical for kids learning today. so dexteria is one we found terrific. you can see this one on the screen there, but we have it in our -- as a teacher, i've dealt lots of times with kids who need help with structure and time management and motivation. it's a great new app out there called my video schedule. it's actually incredibly helpful for kids getting organized. i know a lot of adults who could use that, too! >> sure, i probably could! let me ask you, i can see the benefits of all of these things, but there's also this warning we've heard a million times, don't give kids too much screen time. is there any risk? >> you've heard that warning from me many times on this show. >> sure. >> there is. you don't want to plunk your kid in front of the, in front of any screen. that includes a tablet like an ipad, for too long. you don't want it in front of a tv screen or ipad.
7:19 am
the truth is this. technology used wisely, i really do believe is going to transform education in this country. i think that we see it particularly in the area of special needs and kids with learning challenges. and this is great stuff. i mean, as a parent and as an educator, i look at this and go, this is when technology can transform kids' lives. that's a very, very special thing. this power-up guide at commonsense.org, just go there. if you have a kid with special learning needs, check out power up. you will be a very happy parent. >> thank you, jim steyer with common sense media. we'll be right back.

that may be maybe they are a little slower to greet you when you come home -- sorry, i've got a kitty here! stay tuned for this! maybe your pet is getting older. dr. valdez explains what to do -- what you can expect when your puppy grows up and becomes a senior dog. stay tuned. >> so as dogs age, i would say one of the biggest signs, the most obvious, would be mobility issues. particularly arthritis, just trouble getting up, down off the floor, getting in and out of cars, on and off of beds, those sorts of things. with older dogs in particular, we like as veterinarians to see
7:48 am
them more frequently. if someone said taking your senior dog to the vet every year is like taking grandma to the doctor every seven years, obviously a lot changes over that amount of time and as veterinarians, it's a lot easier for us to get ahead of problems before they fully manifest themselves, or actually know about them as they are developing, rather than trying to catch up and treat them afterwards. some signs you may notice that i think would warrant veterinary care, specifically for older dogs, would be things like rapid changes in weight. so rapid weight gain or rapid weight loss. eyesight is definitely something that we know changes as dogs age. and it may be more subtle than you think. they don't necessarily always run into walls or things like that. they may actually just be a little more tentative when they walk or more inclined to stay in one place or a little more easily startled. even if we're seeing signs of aging, there's definitely a great quality of life for older
7:49 am
dogs, and lot of times we like to know about these issues, just so that we can maybe enhance things that they need and figure out ways to continue to have them have a good quality of life. >> on the other end of the spectrum, we have a pair of kittens here, about five weeks old and will be available for adoption very soon at the san francisco animal care and control center. sandra gonzalez, lead animal care attendant at the acc joins us now. thanks for being here and bringing these two sweeties. tell us about them. >> these guys are about five weeks old. >> they were by themselves? >> they were by themselves. >> mom was gone? >> week later, she was found and her milk had dried. >> so you guys have been bottle feeding these babies? >> yes, through the kitty rescue, fostering them and they will be available in four to five weeks. >> okay. benefits of getting a kitten when it's so young? guess you can shape the
7:50 am
personality? >> not really. it's just fun to have them this little, but personality wise, they are just going to be what they want to be. [ laughter ] >> that's a cat for you! >> that's cats for you. >> and they will go where they want to go, too. now, you guys have a couple of big events coming up. tell us about that. >> we have the fourth annual -- [ laughter ] >> -- easter egg hunt for dogs at golden gate park on march 23rd. and the spring bunny fling at san francisco zoo on march 30- 31. >> easter egg hunt for dogs. you send the dogs out and let them find the eggs? >> i'm assuming the eggs will not have candy, but some sort of meat or something? >> a surprise for the dogs. >> that's good. all right. well, we have a link -- this kitty does not want to get off my shoulder, so i'm going to leave him there! we'll move on. thank you for bringing them in. again, a link on our website, cbssf.com to your website to
